The resolution proposes that the New Jersey General Assembly hold a special commemorative session at Princeton University on February 5, 2026, to mark the 250th anniversary of the first meeting of the State Legislature, which took place at Nassau Hall in August 1776. This session aims to reflect on the historical significance of that meeting, during which the newly formed government sought to stabilize the state, select its first Governor, and address the challenges of the ongoing Revolution. The resolution emphasizes the foundational role played by the first Legislature and subsequent public servants in shaping New Jersey into a strong, diverse, and well-educated state.

Additionally, the resolution highlights the enduring partnership between the State of New Jersey and Princeton University, noting the university's contributions to education, innovation, and public service. It acknowledges the impact of Princeton alumni in various government roles, including 11 who have served as Governor. By returning to Princeton for this commemorative session, the General Assembly aims to honor the historical ties and reaffirm its commitment to fostering leadership and prosperity in New Jersey for the next 250 years.
